Adding a New Storage Enclosure
New storage enclosures with unconfigured drives are hot-pluggable. The
following steps for attaching and installing a new enclosure to an existing
MSA1000:
1. Install the new storage enclosure in the rack.
Refer to the documentation shipped with the rack for instructions.
2. Attach SCSI cables to the MSA1000 expansion SCSI connectors and the
storage enclosure.
See Figure 42 for an illustration of the SCSI connectors.
3. Attach the power cords to the power supplies at the rear of the enclosure.
4. Configure new storage with the ACU or the CLI.
Verify that additional storage is identified through the utility.
Refer to the ACU or CLI chapters in this manual for further information.
5. Run the operating-system-specific disk administration utility to add logical
drive volumes.
6. If necessary for your operating system, reboot server to use the new storage.
